Share It One More Time #3

Saturday, October 17, 2015

Hey all! I have very exciting news to share this week! I’m absolutely delighted to be joining Share It One More Time link party as one of the co-hosts. It’s a fabulous link party with an amazing turnout, last week drawing almost 400 participants, offering creative highlights in decor, DIYs, furniture makeovers, crafts, recipes and more. Every Saturday you can link up here and enjoy the features from the previous week, with 6 hosts providing tons of opportunities to be featured.

But first, a bit about my week…
This week was an interesting one at Designthusiasm, because I shared something I don’t usually post about – a room I can’t wait to change. It’s the kitchen in my new home and I revealed what it looks like now, as well as my vision for an upcoming renovation. If you haven’t already, please join in the conversation and Help Me Renovate My Kitchen.

And now, I’ll pass the baton to this week’s host – Barb from The Everyday Home.

“I wanted to show you what I was up to this past week at The Everyday Home. I whipped up a few batches of Halloween Candy Bark.”

It’s so easy and what I love is you can use absolutely any candy, dried fruits or nuts you desire. Click HERE for the directions.

Hi Lory, welcome and thank you for co-hosting One More Time weekly party! I’ve already been following your blog, and just wanted to stop in and say hello. Really, your kitchen is already pretty fab, but I know you’re about to kick it up a few notches, so I’ll be looking forward to seeing that. Have a great week.

Regarding your kitchen post and pictures – it really is a very pretty kitchen, but I understand when you say it is not your taste. Like you, I also love a white kitchen. The first change I would make is paint the cupboards a beautiful eggshell white. You could also change out your hardware at this same time using a combination of glass knobs and what I refer to as “flour bin pulls.” A cabinet shop could cut out the front of the cupboards you want glass in – think this could be done at a reasonable price. The next thing I would do is replace your island with the white marble that you love. You could live with the black granite perimeter for now and change out at a later date. The marble subway tiles in one of your Pinterest posts is gorgeous, and it would look beautiful with the black granite. If the marble subway tile is too costly, you could go with a standard white subway tile. The floor would be beautiful in wood if you can find something that is similar to the rest of the home; otherwise I think I would want to do larger tiles that have the beautiful look of the marble in the subway marble photo. Whatever you do, it will be beautiful, and I will again enjoy looking at all your photos and posts. Thanks so much for sharing!! Kathy

Thanks, Kathy!! Your ideas are pretty much exactly where we are headed… 🙂 I agree the cabinet color change will make a huge difference and the island marble should be very do-able. The backsplash is key, as well. We’re working on our butler’s pantry right now, so that will be a kind of test of how the materials will look together. I’m currently looking for knobs/pulls and will likely carry the same look into the kitchen, so stay tuned! Thanks for stopping by!!
